Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online. Instead of creating your own product, dealing with your own customers, you can sell other people's products and services and make money. But how do you get started? How can you start seeing results fast? Today I'm going to share with you the easiest way to get started with affiliate marketing.

For example, if you do SEO you got to pick one niche. If you do joint ventures and partnerships, again you got to do one niche and focus all your energy there. If you do paid ads, you can do any niche out there as long as the payouts are high enough because you got to buy that traffic.

Step 2. The second step, defining your target audience.

What is the niche you want to work in? Now, most people are like, “I want to be in the niche that pays me the most money.” You don't do well as an affiliate marketer in that. Why? Because after a while you give up, you hate what you're doing, you're just like “I don't want to spend a ton of time and energy doing this.”

You want to focus your efforts on what you love because what you love is what you're going to create better content on, better marketing campaigns, better ad traffic, you'll get more creative.

Step 3. find products that are a good fit for your audience.

Now, most people do this by just googling. That's a really inefficient way. There's actually already affiliate sites out there that showcase products. And the products they showcase are the ones that tend to be the best performers not only for the publisher, but also the advertiser.

So, by looking at these affiliate sites, you'll know what tends to work because their top offers tend to be the ones that make the most money.

Checking out those sites will give you a good understanding of what works and what doesn't work in your space.

Step 4. Build your funnel.

So, let's say you have SEO going, right, and you have this traffic.

Starts with content, then you want to collect to email and you can collect to email through Hello Bar or any tool out there.

You want to create a lead magnet. You can't just use these tools. You've got to actually have an offer. So, email in exchange for an ebook.

Then, once you have their email, drive them to a webinar. That webinar allows you to sell that product or service to those people.

You can also, for all the people who don't convert in the webinar, follow up through an email sequence and sell them through text-based.

Step 5. Increase the lifetime value.

Most affiliates, drive conversions, they collect their money and they're like, “Woo-hoo, that's it.” Well, you already have that list. Why aren't you continue selling to those people campaign after campaign?

Why aren't you continually adding value to them and not always selling? So then that way when you have the next product to sell they're more likely to buy cause you've helped them out. If you just sell to them every single week, eventually they're going to drop off your list.
